I've used Choice points at every property that is currently available in and around Stockholm, and indeed there are 10k/night deals there.

San Diego Sea World was around $65 last time I checked with the coupons that are always ongoing...

Good deal if you are planning on going, only $15 more but I don't think $50/ticket can be beat

It might take a few weeks to get it credited to your account.

The T&C say:

Quote:

Points will be posted to the account number given at time of purchase within 10 business days of purchase

I posted my experience from last year a few posts ago:

ah, okay. i saw the "more available" banner and that non-rounded number and thought they were saying that was how many left.

in any case, it looks like they're still available at 17h30 pacific time.

Killer whales aren't big fishies, but I would say that the announced end of the killer whale shows probably motivated some to go sooner than later.
